"One would expect Kant to take a hard line against rape as an immoral act, since it uses a person’s body
without their consent. However, Kant scholars point out that his views on rape largely amount to what
we today might call victim-shaming. He says that a woman who has been raped, since she has
surrendered to the will of another person, “is bound to give up her life rather than dishonor humanity” –
Kant opines that it is better for her to commit suicide than to dishonor herself as a rape victim. Alan Soble
describes this as an example of Kant’s ethics being problematically “stubborn about the moral
significance of such duties-to-self”, like the duty not to degrade oneself (p. 56)."

I Kant believe it.
In some respect it's a cheap shot--after all, old philosophers believed lots of dumb stuff. So Kant thought that suicide was morally wrong, except for when you get raped and then it's required, that masturbation is morally wrong, that sex outside of procreation within a marriage was morally wrong, and that women and servants should not be permitted to vote. Passages like these are notorious. But that in and of itself doesn't make the rest of his theory wrong.
In this case, though, I think it genuinely does show the weakness of Kant's systematic moral philosophy. The weakness is that his moral philosophy is so nebulous that it lets him say basically whatever he wants--so nothing prevents him from just venting his prejudice. His "deduction" of the wrongness of masturbation is not really much different from his "deduction" of the duty not to lie--in both cases he just calls something he doesn't particularly like "contradictory" and then dusts off his hands and moves on. Like, ok, cool story.
Anyway, I'm having to teach the big K right now and I'm obviously ragin (apologies to LfhX of course for this anti-kantian hostile environment)

For what it's worth Lars is completely hated in every single archery community, and the biggest claim to fame of Hollywood embracing his shit was that he was the technical advisor for that Taron Edgerton(?) Jamie Foxx robin hood movie.
Why? Just curious.
He's got a bad habit of instead of saying "hey I've trained in this almost lost art of horseback archery (which is the entire purpose of his form) and re-tooled it for some interesting shooting, let's start a club" and instead gone to every archery organization and basically told them they all suck their shit sucks his shit rocks and they need to get with it.
No one disagrees with his ability or knowledge of archery, but his style isn't original. It's the mongolian horse-bow style and has been seen from the far reaches of Asia to the native americas, but he acts like he invented trick shots.
I will take any excuse to hate on that dude
I don't know shit about archery but the video narration has always had this dumb up-its-own-ass tone to me
Also he looks like a goof when he fires and does that weird motion with his arm but I'm loathe to really go in on that because that could well be purposeful
Chat yesterday I mentioned how growing up the local tabletop club I was apart of didnt play Warhammer stuff they played Warzone and Chronopia. I wanted to go back and look at some of the models for Warzone which was tl;dr everyone leaves earth but still fighting so all the factions were based on regions or ideologies. So looking I just found out the American style faction had fucking Weeaboos as a unit choice look at these chucklefucks

That's not true, lots of people disagree with his knowledge of archery
almost every single claim in his video is bullshit
he is a trick shooter, and what he does is neither new or "discovered". He's a fuckin amazing trick shooter and I absolutely don't want to discredit it, but he's a trick shooter who runs around telling both historians and professional archers that they suck
Here's one video about his new level of archery video, but you can find videos from both historians and archers about all sorts of videos he's done that pick it apart
It's like a trick shooter telling navy seals how to war because they can throw a pack of quarters in the air and hit all of them with their six shooter before they hit the ground

More Valheim. Getting to bronze was quick but getting all bronze gear took forever. I think mostly because it’s an alloy and you need to do 3 things for a result of 1. Then immediately did the boss and did one, one, tour of the next biome and now I have almost everything iron.
Grind bronze forever and one iron trip was all it took for most iron. I was smelting for an hour and a half.
I want to give a special Shoutout to EA Desktop, a program where a 80mb update can hang so bad your PC refuses to reboot.
Something they acknowledge on their help page, and then give instructions with wrong folder structures to fix.
Now attempting it for the second time....

My next thing I did, stupidly, was start sailing all the way west.
I ran into trouble with coming across a huge island that was almost all plains and another biome I hadn’t even heard of. Now I’ve finally rounded that island and disembarked on a Black Forest beach to log out. This island may touch the edge of the map.
I don’t know what I’m gonna do over here except maybe plant a portal at the edge of the map.

I've been trying to find a single scrap of iron for over a week.

Maybe I just got mad lucky but are you looking in
The sunken crypts in the swamp? I went into two and left with 70 scrap iron.

How many roads must a Feral walk down before they can call him a Cat

I'd turn and run the other way since I'm an archer and already poised for a speedy retreat.
I might fling one or two as I'm running though. For the horde and all.
Chris Meloni has dem yeeks, we all know that, he’s got a Toyota Beef made for them thick bois. But this is chat and we do pedantic for sport.
And amateur hour's place is only a few hours away....
I could easily steal his gea- uhhhh I mean have him teach me
the "no true scotch man" fallacy.
I thought to ask why is Feral?
It's very fun
For about 10 arrows. Maybe 12.
Then it dawns on you that hey wait this is actually a lot of work!

I'm shorts-fluid
I was into cargo shorts throughout my teens until I started wearing tiny shorts, and I've never gone back.
That being said, I'll fuck anybody no matter what shorts they do or do not wear.
All the local ones? Fucking affluent communities where assholes wouldn’t stop gathering and partying
I’m fucking furious
Had a beautiful ride outside of town just enjoying all the spring greenery and farms in the middle of plowing/planting
Very Westfall vibes
Came home to be there for kiddo's bedtime and kiddo wanted "Blue car to ice cream shop!"
Anyways, I'm sitting here with a tin roof
Robot vending machine, selling yummy ice cream
Many flavors to choose, rainbow sprinkles candy
There are so many reasons to be angry about this.
I love ice cream robot
Maybe I just got mad lucky but are you looking in
Guess I'll let it spin while I sleep.
as obnoxious as it is, there is a pretty sturdy case to be made that vaccinating idiots who refuse to take precautions is a good early step
Amazing how left handed people suddenly had the amount of people they could seduce into left handedness cap out at about 12 percent
All part of their sinister plot
